Made some more...

ok ok I made it bigger ...

Here's the straps. I added some stitches.

Here's the button flap. I sewed around it twice for look and durability. It's kinda off center but I don't care.
Here's the front. I forgot to put Pellon in it so its thinner. Oops. I made the pockets huge too. I don't know if I like it or not. But they are big! Also I bought a great button for this and Gilli (or so I thought) took it and lost it. So I ended up using this one.Here's the top. (Closed)
Here's the inside. (Open)
It's about 10" x 17" and the straps are like 22"
I don't know how long this one took since I didn't pay attention. And after I started sewing Gilli "lost" my button that I bought to use and I searched the whole house for it. (Later finding it under a small paper on the table I was sewing at all day, oh well) Then Jason took us out to dinner for Chase's birthday since he didn't have school tonight. (some kind of teacher thing)
Anyway this is it, my first bag that I kinda designed on my own. I did get tips from these blogs though.

Reversible Hand Bag
Reversible tote
1 hour bag

Finished my bag!

This is my finished bag!


I thought I would do a little embroidery stitches on the straps. Like I did before only this time the machine did it for me...
Can you see the brown dog in the middle??? Savannah asked me to do a dog in the middle and it had to be brown so its hard to see.

Church bag

We made basically the same purse but with our own little touches. Like the embroidery at the end and the pockets are a bit different. I really am proud of it. These are bags we made to take to church so all our stuff could be organized and we were not looking for stuff on Sunday morning or Saturday night.
